Amy, their esthetician does the MOST relaxing custom facials as well- I always add on the PRP (platelet rich plasma) and my skin stays glowing! Her hands are truly magical and the massage she gives with it is the BEST!

Mani/Pedi
The Nail and Skin Bar (on Park)
I love Nail and Skin Bar on Park! A long time fan favorite of Memphians! You can make appointments which I love and they do the BEST job! Yolanda and her staff are soooo nice and talented and they've all been working together for years! She is even opening a nail school for women who have been incarcerated which is just amazing!
I see Kisha for my dip manicure and Yolanda for my pedicure- they only do natural nails, no acylics. It's so refreshing and relaxing now to go to a nail appointment instead of a packed full fast food nail shop!
Amanda, their esthetician does facials, waxing and more also! I truly look forward to my appointments at Nail and Skin Bar!
Pro tip- get a chicken philly from The Castle next door on your way home!

Dentist/Cosmetic Dentistry:
The 901 Dentist aka Liz Mitchell is my dentist and I adore her and her amazing all female staff. The office is tranquil, cushy and beautiful and is a spa-like experience instead of a cold and sterile atmosphere!
Unlike any other dentist- comfy soft dental chairs, plants, great music, vanilla nitrous...I actually look forward to going here!
You'd never know I broke half my front tooth off on a bottle of almond milk in 2021 thanks to her! I have a whole dental health plan now and love every bit of it!

Here are the answers to some FAQ!
How can I change my appointment?
You can cancel and reschedule your appointment as much as you want up to 24 hours before your appointment! There is a link to change your appointment in your GlossGenius conformation emails- just search your emails for GlossGenius and click that and you'll be able to easily manage your own appointment! 24 hours before your appointment, you'll receive a confirmation email and text. If you need to reschedule please let me know 24 hours in advance to avoid a 50% cancelation fee. Make sure you come with dry hair- if it's a couple days dirty that's ok! We'll wash it- just make sure its dry!
How can I join the waitlist for a day I need in?
You can click on the "join the waitlist" on GlossGenius after selecting your service from the service menu! We may be able to work you in or have a cancellation and you'll be able to get in!
Color Aftercare
Wash day:
I recommend most color clients of mine use Kevin Murphy shampoo & conditioner to help protect their color. After a color appointment, wait 72 hours for the cuticle of your hair to fully rest before shampooing, which will make your color last a bit longer.
On a regular basis, shampoo 1-2x per week. If you feel like you need to shampoo more often, try washing with cooler water to avoid opening your sebaceous glands in the shower, and using products that contain less alcohol. Also, your diet plays a huge role in how often you will need to shampoo your hair.
Maintenance:
Haircut 6-8 weeks
Toner 4-6 weeks
K18/Olaplex 4-6 weeks
Base color 4-6 weeks
Babylights 6-8 weeks
Balayage 8-10 weeks
Blended Blonde 10-12 weeks
Products You Can Use
You must use color safe products after a color service at Holly Woods Colorist. They will help protect your color and increase the longevity! My favorites are Plumping wash and rinse and Young Again wash and rinse. Remember to use your K18 after shampooing and NOT conditioning! I alternate conditioner and mask with K18 every other time and don't forget to let it sit FOUR MINUTES and don't rinse out then continue with your styling routine!
Favorite finishers are Doo Over and Bedroom hair- can't live without a texture spray, yall!
